4 by 2 sounds better? Strange one. use metric, as it just is better.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. It really depends
a lot on when you went to school I think.

I was brought in imperial and as soon as I was old enough to use it we
started to go metric. Metric is far, far better. When doing calcs it is so
easy. Think metric, never convert back. The problem is the country were to
go metric but stopped half way through. We buy petrol in litres, yet the
cars are rated at mile per gallon. That is very silly. Very silly. We
should go all the way to metric ASAP and finish the job off properly.
